Much different la of course, because they displayed the Standard Resolution on an LCD Screen, try the normal Astro on a normal CRT, quality will look the same as bYond

sure or not....

well, not really HD on normal, but on normal Astro with CRT, quality looks clear, just when hook normal Astro to LCD, the PQ become worst

astro SD will only look the best on plain old CRT..sad but true

OK all good.
Max powered up and b.yond powered up.
Hooked up the audio via digital coax instead of the left/right rca out to the home theatre and the sound is just awesome.

Just like to know is recording enabled via the usb at all?

Not yet...

Sad but true except for NGC ,ESPN and HC the other HD channels are satisfactory only, HBO HD and SS HD football matches (besides from ASN) is not at all that perfect watch closely you wl find something is wrong. The perfect HD is on ly availiable on NGC.About SD its perfect only on CRT as said by our gang here.

In 2010, ASTRO aims to be the first in the world to offer video recording through external hard drive. With this service, customers can record their favourite programmes and personalize their TV viewing schedules. Astro B.yond will also introduce Digital Video Recording (DVR), Video on Demand (VOD) and IPTV connectivity in phases over the next 24 months.

In my previous ASTRO setup, I used AEM Xtra Link 2 to connect two TVs (both LCDs) to my decoder. It worked like a charm.

With B.yond, I read somewhere that you need an RF converter as the new decoder does not have RF output. I just bought a AEM 8002 (AV to RF Converter) which uses PAL / BG at Channel 3. However, I get very white picture with noisy sound. The AV-RF is not faulty cos I've tested it with a DVD Player and works fine (clear picture, excellent sounds). Only when I connect it to Astro B.yond decoder then this happens.

My connection is
B.YOND --> RCA Out AV (Red,White Yellow) -----> AEM8002 ------> RF Out ----->TV.
I don' think its the cable or anything cos it works fine with the DVD.
Auto tuning the TV also did not solve the problem.

My signal is at 255 (100%) so it should not be a prob.

Can some one help me out?

for IPTV - we need HSBB, if only 1MB line haiyah...

Obviously, Astro will not offer thru TM HSBB.
Maybe using fixed line Maxis Broadband

It's not 1MB, actually 1Mbps

Make sure you connect it using composite video & audio (Red, White & Yellow) not Component (Red, Blue & Green)
Try other source as well

thanks dailou

i'm using the composite cable and not RGB. Another forumer here said he's using the same AEM AV-RF converter but gets clear connection. Could it be something to do with astro settings?

Is it better to use this on current B.yond decoder?
